My main system-Rotel Rcd 951 cd player
Denon PMA 2000r integrated amp
B&W Cdm1 nt speakers
comes in second to the best system I have built-
Musical Fidelity X-can V2 headphone amplifier
Sennheiser Hd 600 headphones
Rotel Rcd 951 cd player
Neither comes all that close to real life, but both are satisfying and the best I have had. I think the headphone set up has greater presense and has a more natural sound, or so it seems. At the very least, it has an ease to it that I find very appealing. The Denon is huge and heavy and a bit squat, and somehow I have become fond of it. I would like to see what becomes of it given a "better" cd player than the 951- would like to go full circle before I consider replacing it, even as I suspect it is the weakest link in this combination.
